Abstract
In this paper, we propose maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and Bayes estimators of parameters of the step-stress partially accelerated life testing of Rayleigh distribution in presence of progressive type-II censoring with binomial removal scheme under Square error loss function, General entropy loss function and Linear exponential loss function . The MLEs and corresponding Bayes estimators are compared in terms of their risks based on simulated samples from Rayleigh distribution. Also, we present to analyze two sets of real data to show its applicability.
